About the 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Program

This professional 5-module journey (200-hours) is a comprehensive training program that takes 3 months to complete.

A 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training is rooted in ancient maps of consciousness, subtle body awareness, and modern embodiment tools.
Offered by Aurum Awakening Academy, this Yoga Alliance–aligned program is designed not just to certify you-but to aid in your transformation.

At the core of this training is a simple truth: the body is wise, and the breath is the bridge to inner connection. You’ll explore classical yoga in its depth-postures, philosophy, and breathwork, while also learning how to listen to the body’s subtle signals, regulate the nervous system, and guide others with presence and precision.

What sets this program apart?

We weave the chakra system throughout your experience, not just as theory, but as a living language of transformation. You’ll come to understand your own emotional patterns, energy blocks, and strengths and learn how to support others in doing the same.

We teach with reverence for yoga’s roots and clarity for modern needs. You’ll leave this training with the confidence to sequence meaningful classes, hold space ethically, speak from your center, and teach in a way that truly connects.

This is a practitioner path, not just a teacher track. Whether you plan to lead classes or deepen your personal practice, this journey will give you the tools, awareness, and integrity to walk your path with courage, calm, and clarity..

Upon completion, you’ll receive a Certificate of Completion and become eligible to register with holistic accreditation with IPHM and Yoga Alliance
